Watching the World

In the days of Covid on my couch at home I switched on my laptop and I was not alone With a few keystrokes, Oh the places I could go (It was like I was) Watching the world go by my window, watching the world go by Day turned to night and I was sitting, watching the world go by O how the lights of Paris sparkled on the Seine that night Then it was noon in Honolulu, I was riding a wave, so high (and I was) Watching the world go by my window…Day turned to night and I… Shakespeare’s playing at the Globe, and I’m in the front row O brave new world that puts on such a show! (oh, I am) Watching the world go by my window…Day turns to night and I’m still… The power flickered, the lights went out, I was alone in the dark I looked outside to see my neighbors looking at me (and we’re all) Watching the world outside our windows…outside Night carried on as we were standing, watching the world go by Candles lit up windows, they shone all down the street It was a new kinda Zoom where neighbors in lockdown meet…oh we… Watching the world go by our windows…
